Erté – Horseshoe Lucky Doll — Authentic Limited Edition Vintage ERTÉ Lithograph (1972)

An elegant and visually striking vintage Art Deco lithograph by the legendary Erté, Horseshoe – Lucky Doll beautifully reflects the artist’s signature fusion of glamour, symbolism, and refined geometric sophistication.

Originally published in 1972 by Franco Maria Ricci in Parma, Italy, this authentic limited-edition vintage print was taken from a series of 2,000 numbered copies, with this particular example being copy number 966. A copy of the Certificate of Authenticity can be provided upon request.

Set against a dramatic black background with luminous gold accents, the composition features a stylized female figure adorned with an ornate sculptural headdress and richly detailed costume elements in striking cobalt blue, silver, and gold tones. The imagery evokes themes of luck, mysticism, and theatrical elegance while showcasing Erté’s unmistakable elongated forms and couture-inspired aesthetic.

Minimal yet commanding, the composition possesses a timeless sophistication that feels equally rooted in Art Deco glamour and modern design sensibility. The strong contrast and restrained palette create exceptional visual impact, allowing the intricate detailing and symmetry to take center stage.

Printed on high-quality paper with original inks, the tipped-in lithograph retains exceptional clarity, depth, and color vibrancy. Presented in excellent vintage condition, the piece would look extraordinary professionally framed either individually or as part of a curated Erté collection.

A refined acquisition for collectors of Art Deco, fashion illustration, theater and costume design, and vintage decorative arts.
